4th World Sepsis Congress
The 4th World Sepsis Congress coming up on the 25 to 26 of April 2023. These are extraordinary times for Global Health. In 2020, we were faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a tremendous number of lives lost and precipitated economic disasters
globally. In 2021, through unprecedented cooperation in research e orts, vaccines, and therapies
became available at a scale and speed not previously seen. While the battle is not yet won in 2022, we are harnessing our knowledge and expertise to address the ongoing challenges of the pandemic and other causes of sepsis.
Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to have claimed 6.7 million lives globally since the winter of 2019. Every year, sepsis, as the final pathway to death from most infectious diseases, worldwide, claims an estimated 11 million lives. This quantum will only increase as our population grows, and as the world comes to realize that antimicrobial resistance is here today, rather than being a perceived future threat. World Sepsis Congress, titled “One Global Health Threat: Sepsis, Pandemics, and Antimicrobial Resistance”. As before,
this Congress will be easily accessible online and free of charge, to promote as inclusive an opportunity for education and participation as possible. Sessions will be live-streamed and made available after the event for those unable to access them in real time. The focus of the
Congress will be to highlight the intimate interrelationships between sepsis, pandemics, and antimicrobial resistance.
